“We wear on our faces the results of what we believe and how we behave, and such behavior is most evident in the eyes and on the faces of those who have lived many years.”

“It is not enough just to be good. We must be good for something. We must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for our presence. And the good that is in us must be spread to others. This is the measure of our civility.”

This book describes in a clear and fundamental way how the future of our country and our society is in the homes of families. The 10 virtues discussed are so simple and widely known, but are equally dismissed or ignored. Reading this was like hearing President Hinckley over the pulpit again, and I felt a huge surge of hope and confidence as I flipped through the pages. I loved this book and plan on returning to it again and again, especially the last few chapters on the value of the home and the loneliness of leadership. I highly recommend this book for everyone, especially those who are anxiously striving to repair and save the diminishing value structure of modern society. For educators, politicians, business leaders, parents, and anyone who is concerned about the well being of our country, this book is clearly essential reading.
